ZM
It manager at PTC (Public Telecomuncation Corporation)
Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy
This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.
MC
Senior consultant at Cambridge Institute of Technology
Has reduced troubleshooting time and improved issue detection through sensor alerts and team collaboration
PRTG Network Monitor can be improved because the dashboard themes feel outdated. It should be updated to a newer version for the new Gen Z customers. The notification sound options are limited unless customized. Restarting probes after Windows updates is necessary, and there should be some kind of automatic restart. The initial auto-discovery added too many unnecessary sensors, so auto-discovery should only take the necessary sensors into consideration.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"All I know is that when it comes to managing the active directory, ManageEngine is something I consider to be the best."
"Customer Service: Absolutely fantastic."
"The technical support is good."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"I would suggest you use this product as it's easy for administration, and is based on distributed model support."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"The primary use case of this solution is to manage and to protect the web servers, the mail server, and the website in my company."
"The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training."
"PRTG is simple to manage: First, you can create a template for a device, then apply it to hundreds of similar devices, and that's a great advantage."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"PRTG has improved our visibility and response time to issues related to remote sites."
"This solution makes it easy to group devices, and it is easy when it comes to dependencies of devices, so if your router goes down, the three or four switches behind it will automatically be paused so that you don't get multiple alerts."
"Technical support is helpful."
"PRTG Network Monitor is a very stable product."
"PRTG Network Monitor helped prevent incidents by creating an alert to the DL when servers go down, notifying me before it became a bigger problem."
"We like the solution's report writing and the way that it compiles the system's information from around the network and brings it all back into the central site and the interface."
 

Cons

"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"This is because of the lack of available technical knowledge in terms of competence and maximizing the power of the product."
"The GUI could be improved."
"ManageEngine needs to fix the downtime scheduler for SNMP monitored devices. Alarms are still generated for the devices placed into scheduled maintenance."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"Improvements in data storage flexibility, such as allowing customers to specify data retention periods, would enhance PRTG."
"I would like to see Office 365 monitoring. Essentially, it doesn't do it."
"I have an issue with DFS, distributed file services... there isn't one by default. Taking into account the difference between DFS and DFSR as well would be great."
"Can be slow in the way it polls the different engines."
"The performance of the monitoring is outdated and when they have upgraded the tools in the past, it slows down the performance."
"They should work on syncing the solution with Gmail."
"PRTG Network Monitor should provide syslog monitoring since it is not available at this time. There are very limited features as compared to other solutions."
"PRTG access works best from the web GUI. There are dedicated apps on Windows/Android/iOS, but they are slow and don’t work as well as the web GUI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is about £4,500 for the first year, then about another 15 to 20 percent annually after that. So, we are looking at about £1000 running costs a year. When you think about how much an outage costs per minute, it's negligible."
"The licensing fees are billed annually and there are no costs in addition to this."
"PRTG is now available as PRTG Enterprise Monitor, and the price varies depending on the total number of sensors the customer buys"
"We have unlimited devices and sensors, and it is a bit pricey, but we do have unlimited sensors. With all things considered the price is fine, related to the solution itself. PRTG Network Monitor is good value for money."
"Because we are only on the free version, we have a limited number of sensors. Therefore, we are not monitoring as much as we want to be to obtain historical information."
"We used a product called SolarWinds in the past, and its cost was high. Whereas, PRTG came in at a third of SolarWind's cost."
"There is a license to use PRTG Network Monitor and it is annually."
"PRTG Network Monitor's price is a little high."
